Today I’m sharing a quick and simple technique to create a fun camera shutter look. This technique is sooo simple but is defiantly a wow technique that I’m sure you’ll want to give it a go too!
I’ve used the Easter Joy Suite (166954) to create this card as it is filled with all kinds of goodies for Easter crafting.
The Easter Joy Specialty Designer Series Paper (166939) is a thicker paper than our regular Designer Series Paper making it perfect for 3d projects too. And the colors are quite wonderful for spring. The package also contains 2 sheets of quick project options as you can see behind the stamp set above.
I’ve used the fun colorful pattern with carrots, eggs, and flowers and chose the coordinating Peach Pie card stock to create the card’s shutter effect with.
I’ve whipped up a video tutorial for you so you can see just how simple this technique is to create!
And of course here is a PDF for you that has the supply list, measurements, and even the link to the video. So why not give this easy little technique a try?
And remember if am Suite or Bundle is in back order you can order the items individually or ask for an email to let you know when the item is back in stock.
Love fun little techniques that step up your projects? How about an Embossing Folder technique that is quick and simple to do that has been used on this card?
Today’s card uses the Easter Basket Bundle (166947) to create this card. It also uses a technique of adding ink to the debossed side of the folder to add color.
How do you do that? It’s simple – you’ll want to use your Classic Ink pad or a brayer to add color to the inside of your embossing folder and then run it through your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss as normal. Clean up is easy simply run water over the inside and allow it to dry.
This creates a colorful background for your project. In addition to the All in a Row Embossing Folder (166989). This card also uses a watercolor wash for the bunny to create a soft feel. Simple stamping was used for the eggs and sentiment. And of course a bit of Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon (167075) adds a bit of texture to the card and a fun detail.
So what do you think? Want to try this simple technique to add color to your embossing folders? While it can be a bit messy if you’re not careful it is a lot of fun!

Cute, right? I hope you can see all the lovely texture and details this card has. First the background is dry embossed using the All in a Row Embossing Folder (166989). Then the fun and colorful Easter Joy Specialty Designer Series Paper (166939) has been placed behind a piece of Vellum 12×12 Specialty Paper (Online Exclusive 167099) to give it a softer look and so the little bunny and basket looks like it just pops off the card. The basket has been cut out of Basic Beige card stock and strip of Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper (167198) reminding me of my childhood basket. Finally Stampin’ Blends have been used to color the images.
Cute? I think so and who wouldn’t love receiving this little Easter card?

The cross has been die cut using Pecan pie and places on the stamped die cut image. The sky sets a beautiful sunrise backdrop and a few Adhesive Backed Trio Pearls (163319) add a bit of shine and texture.
This next card uses the same images but has a less dramatic spring feel to it
with it’s softer color pallet. Done in Old Olive and Daffodil Delight it uses the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper (164700). Old Olive has been used for the palms and has been stamped off to create a lighter shade of green behind the cross. A bit of Daffodil Delight 1/8″ Satin Ribbon (164715) is draped across the cross that has been die cut in Pecan Pie and uses both the solid and detailed die. A bit of sponging on the detailed layer gives it more depth. And those cut little dots that add a bit of shine come from the Glossy Dots Assortment (158827).

It’s spring and the sweet little daffodils are shinning their little faces up to the sun, that is when it isn’t raining. Daffodils always make me think of my childhood since my mother always had them on the table for Easter. Always one of the first pops of color in the garden that my mom loved to tend. So today I thought I’d share with you some cards that use the Daffodil Daydream (157786) stamp set and their coordinating Daffodil Dies (157794).
This first card teams up the images that have been colored with our Calypso Coral and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends
and highlighted with the beautifully versatile Scalloped Contour Dies (155560) done in our In colors Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. And this next card uses that same Evening Evergreen to create this lovely Easter card.

Today’s project is my take on a quick and easy basket. AND it’s perfect for spring, especially since it uses our lovely Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper!
I made this basket with a moving handle so it is more like a picnic basket than an Easter basket. Don’t you love the little bit of lace on the handle? I made this with our Decorative Ribbon Border Punch and it was so easy to do with just a small strip of Whisper White card stock.
Want to whip some of these up too? They are a nice size so add a little shredded paper and treat and you’re set to go. You can make a ton of these with just one stack of Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper and it comes in a variety of spring like colors so they are perfect for giving to others!
I hope you’ll enjoy making these cute little baskets too.
On a personal note I thought that I’d finally share the home improvement project that I was working on with you. I mentioned it a couple of weeks ago and then realized last night that I’d taken the pictures but didn’t share them. Sigh. Some days… lol Can you relate?
Any how here is what was keeping me busy – I still have a couple of finishing touch of things I need to do, but it’s all good.
I had a great time watching my son work on and build the cabinets and then watching the kitchen come together after dreaming about it for so long. I’m bias, but I think my son has done a great job. It turned out beautifully and I really like the look of the hickory. Johnathan did a beautiful job of choosing the grains so they look nice. I love doing projects like this together – great family time and memories being created in addition to a functional end result. You’ll get to see it yourself the next time to come to class, since this space is for our use and will make things easier than the old temporary kitchen set up.
